How to Paint Newly Plastered Walls

With freshly plastered walls in your home, it’s important that the walls are sealed. This crucial step is the best way to know how to stop paint bubbling on plaster.

Step 1: Prepare sealer

It’s important to put on your respirator mask before you start sealing your newly plastered walls as the fumes from sealer can be very strong. Carefully remove the sealer lid and stir thoroughly before pouring into a bucket.

Step 2: Cut in the edges

Before you use your paint roller to apply the sealer, you need to cut in using a paintbrush. Cut into areas including frames, skirting boards, ceiling lines and corners.

Step 3: Apply seal to the wall

Using a roller, apply sealer to the wall making sure it’s covered evenly and smoothly. Once the sealer has dried, you can get ready to paint your newly plastered walls.
